What does the Yeast and Fungal Metabolites test measure?

Yeast and Fungal Metabolites (Candida markers) is a clinical biomarker used in comprehensive-panels assessment. D-arabinitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol produced by Candida and other yeasts; tartarate and citramalate are additional fungal metabolites that may appear in urine when yeast populations are elevated. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Yeast and Fungal Metabolites?

D-arabinitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol produced by Candida and other yeasts; tartarate and citramalate are additional fungal metabolites that may appear in urine when yeast populations are elevated. These metabolites are not normally present at high concentrations in human metabolism.

Why is Yeast and Fungal Metabolites measured?

Urinary yeast metabolites are used in functional medicine as indirect markers of intestinal or systemic yeast overgrowth. Elevation prompts consideration of antifungal therapy and dietary carbohydrate restriction, but these markers are exploratory and have not been validated against culture-based or molecular diagnostics for Candida overgrowth.
